Our Strongsville Medicaid Planning Services

For Strongsville area seniors and their families, one of the biggest concerns faced as we age is how we will pay for long-term care needs. In the Cleveland metropolitan area, the average monthly cost for a private room in a nursing home facility is $11,011.

For individuals aged 65 years and older, certain benefits through the Medicaid program can help you pay these costs. However, the eligibility requirements for achieving these benefits have the potential to harm your assets if you do not adequately plan ahead.

At Phillips & Mille Co., L.P.A., we can help you strategically protect your assets while still meeting eligibility requirements to obtain Medicaid and pay for long-term care costs. Our Medicaid planning services include:

• Proactive planning. Let’s get out ahead of the game and plan for your potential long-term care needs without having to sacrifice the assets you’ve worked so hard for using wills and trusts. This might include setting up certain kinds of trusts, including an Irrevocable Asset Protection Trust or a Qualified Income Trust, and converting countable assets into exempt assets to both protect your wealth and stabilize your future eligibility.
• Crisis planning. Sometimes, emergencies happen, and there is no way they could have been planned for. In these scenarios, our team is here to help you uncover certain crisis planning strategies and find legal options available to protect your assets while still seeking Medicaid.
• Application assistance. Applying for Medicaid can prove tricky, but our team is here to guide you through the entire process from start to finish.
